Trinity Services, Inc. invites all to its 32nd Annual Better Together Dinner Dance & Auction, set for Saturday, Sept. 18, at The Odyssey in Tinley Park.
The event will raise funds to enrich the lives of the approximately 5,500 people with developmental disabilities and mental illness who receive support from the organization throughout Illinois.
Trinity Services will also honor Chad Kodiak, R.Ph., of KODO Care Pharmacy, for his lifesaving work securing COVID-19 vaccines for people with disabilities and staff members who support them earlier this year.
